My grandparents lived in Kenya in the 50's and took a lot of amazing photos. I was excited to practice the techniques I learned in Dominique's class, but didn't have a chance to go to an open studio. So I decided to make a painting of my grandma as a young woman. The photo I chose doesn't show the interesting African scenery they usually show, but that is in the back of my mind as an interesting project. I wanted to see if I could paint my grandma and add some of the missing color information the old photographs lack. I think with time and practice I'll get better at it.
